Assignment 3 B

I have nothing to hide
Some people think that they have nothing to hide, that is where they are wrong, especially when using social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. I remember when i was younger i thought that having a Facebook was essential and if i did't have it i wasn't cool. In todays world, i'm scared to have one because i worry about what pictures go up on the website, and also someone could hack my Facebook page and post anything they want on it. That is always scary because if they posted something bad i could get in a lot of trouble. In high school i played hockey for the Varsity team and if a bad picture went up of me on Facebook, that could eventually lead to my coach which would lead to a suspension. People don't think this could ever happen to them but it happen to kids in my school. Some kids were just at a party and the Principal found out and suspended the kids. When applying for a job they do a range check on you and see what you post on to social media. In todays world once you tweet or send a picture, it will never disappear, it will always be in the system. People think by setting their settings to private or only friends that they will be fine and no one else will be able to see....Wrong!

Social Media and Privacy
Social media can be beneficial, or it can ruin ones life. In the Article When rape goes viral Social media, or face book ruins a girls life, because pictures and videos were posted of her black out drunk and kids laughing at her. Naked pictures of her was posted and going around her high school, and later she found out she was raped. At the age of 17 her life was ruined because of social media where everyone could see what had happened. She eventually couldn't take it anymore and hung her self in her bathroom. Kids that posted the pictures were bystanders and not doing anything about it but laugh. This is unacceptable, and what kind of sick person would do such a thing. Since these kids posted the pictures to social media, they will be there forever, even if you delete them.
